nubbins`: got a new battery and upgraded
to 8gb ram a couple months ago
pete_dushenski: but unless it's
too slow for your needs, like decimation said, a new hdd or battery is all you'll likely need
nubbins`: this is actually
the longest i've ever used
the same laptop
pete_dushenski: maybe no easier, but
that's not
the point,
the point is what's saner
nubbins`: maybe i'll just
try stocking up on a full set of spare parts for
this late-2008 macbook
nubbins`: who knows how
they were
treated
decimation: well,
the 'plastic body' fails almost everything
pete_dushenski: several ways
to skin cat, hard
to argue
that any involve apple
nubbins`: my criteria are (a) not plastic body (b) no money given
to MS
trinque: my cellphone gets
too close
to
this machine and
the display starts flickering, disk remounts read-only
trinque: pete_dushenski: I'm on a lenovo
turd currently, do not recommend
nubbins`: i honestly abhor
the idea of a plastic laptop
decimation: my recommendation is you purchase a laptop on
the 'coreboot' list & flash your own bios
nubbins`: dell usually offers one or
two linux laptops
trinque: asciilifeform
tells me
there are no
trustworthy components with which
to re-do
the garage build, and I don't doubt him
decimation: which explains
the need
to sell 10k watches, and cars, bespoke helicopters, etc
nubbins`: mildly surprised
there's no market for os-free laptops of somewhat rugged construction
trinque: because now
they're
the IBM
trinque: I admire
the way
the company got started; someone needs
to do *that* again
decimation: the argument being
that even if every 'middle class' person in
the world purchased a new apple device
they would still only be 'holding steady'
pete_dushenski: decimation: new product offerings grow
their pie just as well
trinque: decimation:
the apple watch gadget etc
decimation: I recently heard an argument
that apple's only recourse
to 'grow' its revenue stream is
to sell super-luxury goods
decimation: as in maker of fancy
trinkets for rich folk?
nubbins`: *i* won't buy it, but since when does
the market cater
to rational actors?
☟︎ trinque: sure,
that was my reaction
to
the latest win10 signed boot bullshit
trinque: nubbins`: remove
the ability
to interact with anything other
than signed cocoa apps
decimation: pete_dushenski: well,
they apparently can charge people for
the privilege of signing up
pete_dushenski: if apple has a slave harem,
they win
the award for 'dumbest slave harem'
nubbins`: like, remove
Terminal.app from
the default install, or remove
the ability
to run bash?
trinque: nubbins`: heh, I
tend
to argue
the contrary
nubbins`: <+trinque> decimation: a friend of mine always says it's a matter of
time before
they remove
the
terminal entirely <<< a friend of mine says obummer is a reptilian
decimation: on
the other hand, perhaps apple is just
trying
to 'enumerate goodness' in its 'forced wot'
☟︎ decimation: right, but apple just wants you
to know
that it sees what you are doing
there...
nubbins`: decimation a couple releases ago (maybe 1-2),
the default behaviour for applications downloaded by "unknown developers" requires you
to right-click,open
trinque: decimation: pretty far from
their roots
these days
trinque: decimation: a friend of mine always says it's a matter of
time before
they remove
the
terminal entirely
decimation: at any rate, it does appear
that with each release of osx/xcode, apple subtlety changes what is 'allowed', without much explicit explanation
trinque: you make your own self-signed cert
then flip a setting
that allows you
to run such
things
nubbins`: seems kinda weird
that some random code won't compile
tho.
trinque: whether
this much fuckery should be involved aside, it can be done
nubbins`: as you can imagine, ios apps are under almost
total lockdown
trinque: you have
to set your ios device up as one of your dev devices
nubbins`: ah, haven't ever used xcode for
this
trinque: or at least years ago when I did
this
nubbins`: is
this a mac app or an ios app?
decimation: now, perhaps I was just unaware of
the proper method of 'unsigning' someone else's code, but it wasn't an obvious feature if it existed
decimation: Xcode insisted
that I required a paid apple developer account before I could consider such a
thing, it appears
decimation: the developer in question had already made a deal with apple
to publish
the app apparently. I couldn't even compile my own version unsigned for my own personal use
☟︎ decimation: asciilifeform: I
tried
to compile an 'open source' app using
the osx devel
tool once
nubbins`: jurov good idea, nothing useful
tho
nubbins`: everything in prior stmt appears
to be present
nubbins`: anyone have a suggestion as
to where i start figuring out *which* file/directory it can't find?
nubbins`: just fried up a
test piece; wept
nubbins`: been fermenting on
the counter for 6 days
nubbins`: ^ homemade kimchi on
the menu
tonite
nubbins`: those drives, you prolly can't reflash
the fw 8)
nubbins`: ostensibly it's
there for later when
they discover bugs in
their code
nubbins`: well, "required".
too long ago
to remember what it did
trinque: not
that it avoids any other diddled components
trinque wonders what relevance running from ramdisks might have
to
the situation involving hd firmware
assbot: Logged on 21-03-2015 19:54:27; nubbins`:
the msrp on
the
things is like $99.
jurov: no, just could not believe
there is nothing avail
cazalla: plus
the mods for btc-e chat are well known for
trolling so who really knows
